Organizers in Rhode Island and across the country are mobilizing against ICE following a pair of recent shootings.
Local organizers stated, “Rhode islanders will gather on Sunday to honour the life lost, highlight the human cost of ICE’s actions, and demand that state and federal leaders reject local contracts with ICE, take every action possible to stop ICE from operating in Rhode Island, and hold ICE agents accountable when they break the law.”
The Rhode Island event begins at 2 PM at the State house on Sunday.

Nationally, a broad coalition including Indivisible, MoveOn Civic Action, the American Civil Liberties Union, Voto Latino, United We Dream, 50501, the Disappeared in America Campaign of the Not Above the Law coalition, and partner organizations announced a coordinated “ICE Out For Good Weekend of Action” on Friday.
This mobilization responds to escalating ICE violence, including the killing of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old wife and mother of three, and a pattern of unchecked violence in marginalized communities. Communities nationwide will gather for nonviolent actions to honor the life lost,demand accountability,and demonstrate the human cost of ICE’s actions,according to organizers.
Organizers added, “Good and the Portland victims are part of a disturbing pattern of unchecked violence by federal immigration enforcement. In September,ICE reportedly shot and killed Silverio Villegas González,a father and cook from Mexico in Chicago. In 2025 alone, more than 30 people reportedly died in ICE detention.”
